There is a qualitative difference between opacity and transparency. Translucency stands in the middle and is a step in the right direction but the goal, the telos, is the thinnest line.
Opacity is dark, unclear. Unfocused, it stumbles and reaches but does not find. It thinks it looks good, elegant-- but because it absorbs the light there is nothing to see.
Not so the transparent. Here, the thinness between what is hidden and what is real is revealed for what it really is-- we see through the real into a deeper real.
The translucent stands in between, reflecting some absorbing some becoming thinner or thicker.
On this blog I typically post audio devotionals, Bible study notes or resources that I'm working on for use at the Otisville Church of Christ, where I preach, or short articles about ministry and church leadership. Occasionally I post a book review.
For more regular "microblogging," or to connect with me online, do so at Twitter or Facebook.
I upload and post my sermon from Sunday each Monday. You can find sermons and an RSS link at my Sermons page. You can listen to sermons online or download them in MP3 format.
Although I work for the Otisville Church of Christ in Otisville, Michigan, this blog represents my own thoughts and does not necessarily correspond to the views and workings of the Otisville Church of Christ.
